Welcome back to KICKSTART 2022 – a new campaign to help Garrett County get moving, make healthier choices, and work together to improve our community’s well-being in the New Year.

Throughout January 2022, we’ll be sharing TONS of great resources and tips to help you KICKSTART your new year with a community full of support!

Today is the seventeenth day of a brand new year – and we’re sharing the MyPlate Healthy Eating on a Budget Planning Guide – https://www.myplate.gov/eat-healthy/healthy-eating-budget/make-plan. This digital guide shares several ways to help you make the most of your resources, and make healthy eating more affordable through meal planning.

Do you have any tips for healthy eating on a budget? Share them in the comments below!

One of our best tips is to shop frozen vegetables – especially if the vegetables you need are out of season and/or not available at local farmers’ markets. Frozen vegetables are often much less expensive, and can help lower the cost of healthy eating for those on a tight budget.
